This volume brings together three of Anton Chekhov's most representative works: 'Ivanov', which presents a Russian liberal dominated by indolence; 'The Seagull', a reflection on art and its social function; and 'Uncle Vanya', which contrasts the active and sensitive life with the routine of the landowner of the time. Chekhov's works are characterized by their subtlety and objectivity, showing life as it is, without moral judgments or theatrical effects.
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was a Russian playwright and short story writer. Widely considered one of the greatest writers of all time, his career as a playwright produced four classics, and his best short stories are held in high esteem by writers and critics. Along with Henrik Ibsen and August Strindberg, Chekhov is often referred to as one of the three seminal figures in the birth of early modernism in the theatre. Chekhov was a physician by profession. "Medicine is my lawful wife," he once said, "and literature is my mistress."
